We college students know what it's like to leave for months and them come back home. We reunite with old friends and catch up. We reminisce about all the memories we shared and make promises for new memories. Here are a few topics that are sure to happen with your besties over the holidays

1. Family Updates

"My brother's having a kid!"

"My sister is getting married!"

"My parents want to move to [insert obscure city here]!"

The family updates have to be thorough since we only see each other a handful of times per year. Plus, being friends on Facebook with each other's mom only goes so far when it comes to updates!

2. Relationship Drama

Hookups, breakups, anniversaries... you name it. We all meet up and spill tea, happily and boldly.

3. Hometown Happenings

We come back and catch up on who's who and what's what! For example, that person did what? She's pregnant? Not that it's any of our businesses but you know how we ladies are.

4. Relive Some High School Memories

Since we're all back in the town where we grew up together, we have to make a trip down memory lane and talk about all of the cringy and awkward memories we've made in the past.

5. What's Going On Now

Of course, we have to catch up on what we're all doing now. Who's going to college, who's working, who's graduating, and so much more. It's so hard to keep in touch and so much harder to keep track of who's doing what and what everyone's plans are, we have to cover all the bases while we're together.

6. "I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH"

Before we go, we have to: hug at least a hundred times, talk about how good it is to be together again, and say how much we've missed each other. We'll make plenty more plans to get together over break but until then, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
